Sup, building a new rig this winter and I'm debating on whether to get the EVGA FTW3 Gaming or MSI Gaming X Trio. Would love some thoughts or opinions. This is slightly off topic, but what's your opinion of the Asrock Taichi Z370 vs MSI Gaming M5? If I get the EVGA Card I'd go Asrock MB and I'd get the MSI MB if I get the MSI Card. Thanks

Thanks for all the replies! I’ll try using pcpartpicker when I get home from work. I was gonna finance this for a year with the Newegg credit card, so that’s my only problem with breaking all the components up between different stores. I won’t be pulling the trigger for about another month though. Definitely heavy video games playing at 1440p. Most of my common applications are: Video editing, CAD 3D modeling, and music recording and editing with Cubase. Is the trident @ 3600mhz cas 17 better than 3200mhz cas 14? I was originally just gonna get a 500gb 850 evo data ssd for $150. But thought maybe the NVMe Samsung would help with my video and audio editing recording.

What’s up guys, after about 6 years running an i3 550 (clarkdale) @ 4.5 ghz and a gtx 560ti I'm finally putting together a new build. I’ve assembled a list of components on Newegg and wanted your opinion on cost/performance or just any insights you might have about it: https://secure.newegg.com/Wishlist/SharedWishlistDetail?ID=iK%2fIHWspASSaS%2birKA39hg%3d%3d the only things not included in that list are the ram and case. I plan to buy G.Skill trident Z rgb ram. I opted for the 3200mhz and cas 14 since I heard they use the better Samsung di. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFH6R73/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_MwlcAb2MC6E8C And an NZXT H700i. I know it’s overpriced but I really like the design and I’m willing to drop $200, but I’m open to suggestions if you think there’s a better case for the cash: https://www.nzxt.com/products/h700i-matte-black With all that I’m at ~$2,517.70. Do you think I could do better with that budget? Thanks!
